It will be the dim little red thing hidden way down at the bottom of the dash.

While it's no LC500, my car has everything I could want and more. I didn't like the base trim because most of the twins that I have seen with cloth seats wear/fade in an ugly way. The limited trim is perfect IMO. Leather in the areas that have high wear or frequent contact (alcantara in these areas gets nasty as it accumulates sweat and grime), and alcantara is reserved for the inserts for grip and a burn free experience on hot days. The climate controls are simple but clean looking, and Apple Carplay is pretty convenient (when it works). Keyless entry and heated seats are a new thing for me as well. Heck even the one touch turn signals are cool to me.


The only thing I dislike is the rectangular LCD screen surrounded by a circular bezel, it looks dumb. But even that is handy for checking my oil/coolant temps, gear indicator, distance to empty etc.

Granted I am coming from a 20 year old car so maybe the above is par for the course nowadays, but as I said, I am very happy when sitting inside the car and don't consider it cheap. Couldn't care less if someone thinks otherwise.

Lol so strange, I live in So Cal so I honestly thought this car is pretty common around my area (since i see it on the streets quite often and its been around for like 5+yrs) but I saw this and the security guard at my work thought it was an exotic/foreign....

I get reactions like this a lot.

Everyone thinks it's a $50-$100k supercar, I had a couple of gas station cashiers looking at it and me as I walked in and they're like "is that a Ferrari?"

Yup, ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you, the Ferrari "Sciyobaru FT-RSBRZ86, GT"

Ha, and i helped the "problem" by removing both front and rear Toy badges, and all four center caps, too. People are so confused. I pulled into dealer one time to get oil changed, parked in line behind lady in a Toy, she looked at car and said, "They service those here?" hahahahahaha

I never even noticed if there is a clock or not.
The only thing I look at in the interior is the tach.
WAIT, there's a clock, AND a radio? turned radio on 3 times in two years and immediately shut it off so i could hear the car, love the sound !
